Project Admission, a technology company specializing in digital ticketing solutions for the sport and entertainment industries, announced today that the Honorable Bob Kerrey, former Nebraska Senator, U.S. Navy Seal, Medal of Honor recipient, and accomplished business leader, has joined its board of directors.

‍

Currently, Kerrey serves as a Managing Director at Allen & Company.

"I've had the pleasure of knowing Stephen Glicken for the last several decades and have continued to be impressed by his business acumen," says Mr. Kerrey. "When he showed me the transformative power that Project Admission is positioned to have on ticketing and live events, I was thrilled at the opportunity to join the board and help its growth."

‍

Prior to Allen & Company, from 2001 to 2011, Mr. Kerrey was President of The New School, a university founded on democratic ideals and daring educational practices. On his watch, The New School experienced unprecedented growth in enrollment, faculty, scholarships, capital projects, research, and international engagement. From 1989 to 2001, Mr. Kerrey represented Nebraska in the Senate, where he promoted equity for rural communities, led in farm and environmental legislation, strengthened taxpayers' rights, led in restructuring our intelligence agencies, and partnered with local leaders to build projects of lasting value to Nebraskans.

‍

The announcement of Mr. Kerrey joining Project Admission's board comes on the heels of the company's acquisition of SplitSeasonTickets this past June. Earlier this year, Project Admission announced its partnership with Major League Baseball and its Clubs, including the Houston Astros, Tampa Bay Rays, and Cincinnati Reds, while expanding its footprint in professional soccer with a client base that now includes Minnesota United, Austin FC, Portland Timbers, Houston Dynamo, LouCity, Hartford Athletic, and Chicago Red Stars, among others.

‍

In addition to its presence in professional baseball and soccer, Project Admission's platform is being used by other sport and non-sport-related properties, including the NBA, the NFL, The Avett Brothers, One Republic, and Zac Brown.

Telenician Inc. announced today that its crypto token SRVU is now being used by several major companies to enhance invoicing and payment processing with their customers. The token acts as a replacement for fiat currency (cash) in financial transactions. Running on blockchain, the SRVU token lets B2B manufacturers and service providers avoid banking fees and processing delays, especially in cross-border transactions.

This fintech approach allows B2B firms to sell products and services to customers with payment in utility tokens. These tokens can be exchanged almost instantaneously at almost zero cost. The token also provides a hedge against inflation for service providers and clients as it tends to increase in value, making purchases cost less. This “affinity” program essentially gives discounts to customers over time, similar to a grocery store discount card, helping B2Bs acquire and retain customers.

Telenician’s SRVU token lives on the Stellar blockchain. Just a few years younger than Bitcoin, Stellar is the second oldest major blockchain in existence. Stellar is built for fintech transactions and applications. Transactions on Stellar occur in milliseconds and cost just thousandths-of-a-penny each, much cheaper and faster than traditional banking systems or other blockchains.

The token trades on Stellar—symbol SRVU—with a current imputed market cap of about $15 million.

About Telenician

Founded in 2022, Telenician created its signature utility token SRVU early this year. The token is in trials with major international companies, including a manufacturer of construction equipment and a computer chipmaker. These firms are expected to go into production use of the Telenician technology in 2023. Telenician's vision is to create crypto/blockchain tools to improve business processes and functions. The value proposition for early adopters is to see a meaningful increase in financial transaction performance using SRVU and obtain a competitive edge in their respective markets using SRVU.

DrOwl, a HIPAA-compliant medical platform built on patented technology that empowers patients to access, understand, and share their medical records for free, today announced it has launched a new upload feature in its latest mobile app update. The new capability allows users to safely scan and upload documents, including important information not contained in their healthcare records. This makes it easy for users to have a more holistic view of their health and manage and share everything from one simple place.

‍

Launched in 2019, DrOwl helps individuals take greater control of their own health. With DrOwl, users can securely sync their medical records from the VA, Medicare, and thousands of other providers, and receive a customized Patient Portal with information about their specific conditions and medications. Complex medical jargon in their records is translated into easy-to-understand language, enabling users to better understand their health. The new document upload feature allows patients to add medical information that cannot be imported directly from their healthcare providers.

‍

"DrOwl is dedicated to empowering patients with easy-to-use tools that allow them to better understand their health and become stronger medical advocates for themselves and their loved ones," said Arvind Raichur, CEO and co-founder of DrOwl. "Through this new feature, users can supplement their medical records with their own documents to see a more complete picture of their health. Whether an individual needs to keep track of COVID-19 vaccination records, new insurance cards, or advanced medical directives, we believe it is vital to easily and securely store them all in one accessible place so the patient can fully understand diagnoses, tests, and treatment plans to help obtain the best possible medical care and outcomes."

‍

What documents can users upload?

Users can securely and quickly upload documents, such as insurance cards, vaccination records, COVID-19 test results, powers of attorney, medical directives, and other healthcare-related items, by scanning their documents directly into the DrOwl app. Documentation scanned within the app is clear and easy to read, and gives users the ability to safely share the documents on-demand from their mobile devices.

‍

How does the upload feature help users?

Parents—As the start of the new academic year nears, families across the country will be preparing their children to go back to school. For student-athletes, that includes getting full physicals to confirm they are healthy enough to play sports. DrOwl users can now easily scan in vaccination records, insurance information, and required releases, as well as pull in their child's electronic health records (EHRs) from thousands of medical providers. Parents can simply share the information with the schools as needed so that their child will be ready to take the field.

‍

Caregivers—For those who take care of loved ones, having access to an individual's complete medical history is extremely important, especially if he or she is in failing health or has an emergency. DrOwl makes it easy for caregivers to access and share their loved one's medical records, including information on their conditions, current and prior prescriptions, allergies, and other information that is often fragmented across multiple providers. Using DrOwl's new upload feature, caregivers can go beyond medical records and include insurance cards, power of attorney paperwork, medical directive forms, and more. This reduces the amount of time caregivers spend searching, sifting, and hunting for medical documents and allows them to focus on the well-being of their loved ones.  

‍

DrOwl is available for free on Android, iOS, and desktop devices. It is a first-of-its-kind tool that empowers users to better understand their health and become their own medical advocates. This makes taking control of their health easier, more efficient and less overwhelming — helping lead to the best possible outcomes for patients, caregivers, loved ones, and their doctors.

After three years of constant testing and refinement, Soppycid has succeeded in eliminating the flaws in the conventional water balloon product. Soppycid also patented the notion of reusable water balloons at this time. These revolutionary new water balloons have entirely re-imagined the splash water balloon and are ideal for families and children who want to have some fun and stay cool on a hot day.

‍

The Time of Traditional Water Balloons Is Over

‍

One con of traditional splash water balloons is that they are single-use products; consumers can only use them once before throwing them away.

‍

This can be wasteful and expensive, especially if consumers have a large group of people to play with. Another con is that traditional water balloons often leak; this can be frustrating and cause consumers to lose water quickly.

‍

Most consumers dread filling water balloons. It is a tedious and time-consuming process that often leaves people feeling frustrated.

‍

Finally, traditional splash water balloons are often made with inferior latex, which makes them more likely to break. This can be a big problem if consumers are trying to have a fun and long water fight. All these factors make traditional splash water balloons less desirable.

‍

Soppycid has now provided a better way.

‍

What makes Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons so Desirable?

‍

The reusable water balloon is made from latex-free silicone, a soft, safe material that can be reused repeatedly. Fill the balloon with water, seal it off with its magnet, and enjoy.

‍

When finished, users can simply rinse the balloon and let it dry. The durable material will withstand many uses, so consumers can enjoy summer splashes for years to come.

‍

Being an eco-friendly product, using reusable water balloons can reduce environmental impact and help save our planet.

‍

Not only is the reusable water balloon eco-friendly, but it is also a great value! Each balloon can be reused multiple times so that you will save money in the long run. Plus, the soft material is safe for all ages, be they kids, adults, or pets, making this a great option for family fun.

‍

Another splendid feature of these reusable water balloons is the magnetic self-sealing feature. This excellent feature makes refilling the water balloons easy and quick for consumers without the need for manual sealing.

‍

Simply fill the balloon with water and close it. The magnetic self-sealing will automatically seal the balloons. All of this will now take only a second, allowing for  uninterrupted fun.

‍

This is also a notable feature because this ensures no water leakage.

‍

Water balloons are a fun summer activity for kids. Children can use them in water balloon fights, water gun battles, or play around with them in the pool. If consumers are looking for a great summer gift for the kids, why not get them some reusable water balloons?

‍

The world's first reusable water balloon is sure to make a splash.

‍

Given all the benefits of Soppycid reusable water balloons, it is time to ditch the conventional disposable water balloons and switch to a sustainable, eco-friendly option this summer. So, gather together and have some fun with Soppycid.

3 Mavins' Beer, one of South Florida's fastest-growing craft beer companies, in partnership with the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation, today announces that the parties have entered into a strategic agreement that will activate the consumer CAUSE CODE "DRIF". This code will enable users to register the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation as their cause of choice on the 3 Mavins' Mobile Application.

The agreement brings together two organizations whose mission of helping those in need and improving the lives of others are aligned.

‍

The mission of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation is to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now. The goal is to develop and rapidly apply the most promising research to treat and cure those now living with diabetes. The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF) is the organization of choice for those who are serious, passionate, and committed to curing diabetes. Its mission - to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now - is a testament to the belief that tomorrow is not soon enough to cure those living with diabetes.

‍

"We want to turn off the lights." Expressed Mariah Moscone, Development Manager for DRIF. "Simply stated, we aim to put ourselves out of business by finding a cure. Our support of the 3 Mavins' Cause Code "DRIF" is one more simple way for people to support the Diabetes Research Institute and help us get the job done!"

Embracing Equity, a national education nonprofit working to ensure every child feels proud of who they are, announced they will bring together educators, renowned speakers, and thought leaders to collectively organize in the face of anti-truth movements, banning books, and surveilling teacher's curriculum.

‍

"My teachers are overwhelmed with emotions in efforts to fill gaps in instruction, social-emotional needs, all while contending with diminished societal perceptions," said Dr. Curtese Holmes, Principal of Hanrahan Elementary School in St. Louis, Missouri. "More than anything else right now, my teachers need hope, healing and community."

‍

Unapologetically Hopeful is the third annual Embracing Equity conference and will be held virtually August 1-2. The past conferences have seen over 1,200 attendees across 14 countries, 47 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Ninety-seven percent of conference attendees indicated they were likely or very likely to implement learnings within six months of attending the conference.

‍

"Unapologetically Hopeful is not your standard diversity, equity, and inclusion conference," said Daisy Han, Founder and CEO of Embracing Equity. "We designed this conference to meet the needs of the moment. Right now, we need hope. Attendees will walk away nourished, inspired, and connected as we use our collective imagination to protect and celebrate truth, justice, and equity on behalf of both ourselves and our students. We are going to keep fighting for the future and we're not going to leave any space unchallenged."

‍

More than 1,000 participants representing hundreds of organizations are expected to experience the event including school administrators, teachers, nonprofit professionals, and corporate professionals who support the K-12 education space.

‍

"I am so eager to participate in this conference," said Freedom Reign, teacher at Urban Montessori Charter School in Oakland, California. "Embracing Equity knows how to reach teachers where they are. Their events are well organized, authentic, and impactful. This event is exactly what my colleagues and I need right now as we strengthen our spirit and resolve for the year ahead."

‍

• What Does It Mean to be an Anti-Racist Organization?
• We Are Unafraid: How We Secure The Truth for Students

Produced as its first collection of household cleaning products, WizKid Products releases WizKid CleanPods.

‍

WizKid CleanPods are eco-smart household cleaning products packaged in concentrated, water dissolvable pods. When added to water, they create highly-effective cleaning products made with limited chemicals. Using CleanPods is as simple as dropping the pod into the bottle and adding 24 ounces of water to give a better-for-the-earth cleaning solution.

‍

WizKid CleanPods are available in five formulations for every surface in a home: a glass cleaner, multi-surface cleaner, bathroom cleaner, urine cleaner, and two floor cleaner options designed for use in three gallons of water. Each WizKid CleanPod formulation is designed to keep surfaces cleaner in between cleanings, prevent product build-up, and leave surfaces streak-free.

‍

WizKid CleanPods understand that people want to be as good as possible to this planet we share. However, they also know individuals want to live in a place that is clean and smells good. CleanPods calls this balance between these two needs the Smarter/Clean philosophy. These ideals extend into minimizing the use of harsh chemicals in their line of cleaning products and finding safer combinations that work just as effectively—developing formulations that defend surfaces against the build-up of dirt and grime in-between cleanings, reducing cleaning frequency and the amount of chemicals used in spaces. Additionally, the water-soluble pod system eliminates single-use plastics and the use of commercial-quality spray bottles that are good to use for thousands of sprays, and are 100% recyclable, ultimately reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.

‍

"We are beyond excited to launch a line of household cleaning products made with limited chemicals," Jeff Crevier, CEO and owner said. "When I sat down with our scientists, we looked at different cleaning products on the market and eliminated numerous toxic chemicals that other brands use in their products when creating the formulations for WizKid CleanPods."

‍

Crevier also emphasized that he did not want to charge customers to ship water, which inherently reduces shipping costs for the product. The starter kits come with a commercial-grade spray bottle and a six-month supply of CleanPods. The starter kit for each formulation is available now for $14, and a refill pack is available for $9 at cleanpods.com. There are also two subscription options for the CleanPod refills: a six-month and twelve-month subscription.

Giftcoin, a new cryptocurrency shopping platform, today announced it will launch its inaugural product after receiving initial funding from angel investors. The product is a first-of-its-kind digital gift card whose value is linked to a cryptocurrency rather than a fixed dollar amount, allowing it to increase in value over time. It is slated to be available for public download on the Apple App Store in August.

‍

In just a few clicks, anyone can send a Giftcoin Card to their family, friends, or coworkers that they can spend online or in stores. In the Giftcoin app, they simply select the retailer, the amount, and the cryptocurrency to link it to, and it will instantly be available for use through the Giftcoin app or Apple Pay at checkout. Unlike normal gift cards, Giftcoin Cards are able to gain value as the value of the currency increases, making it the only gift card whose balance can grow. In addition, each transaction itself will be tied to crypto, so users will earn between 1% and 3% "cash back" in crypto for every purchase they make.

‍

Founded in January 2022, Giftcoin's mission is to make crypto fun, easy, and rewarding to use in the real world. Cofounders Justin Lockwood and Bill Rose believe cryptocurrency has thus far been a niche category that largely caters to the investor class, lacking the kind of real-life applications that would enable its mainstream adoption. With Giftcoin, the duo aims to serve the millions of people who want to explore crypto – but who may be intimidated by exchanges, keys and wallets – and make it meaningful in their everyday lives.

‍

"Most of crypto is about investing. What was hailed as a decentralized system that could change finance instead has been turned into a get-rich-quick scheme for crypto bros," said Lockwood, the company's CEO. "There is nothing that exists today that gives people a fun and easy way to give and spend crypto at their favorite stores, so that's what we built. Giftcoin is 'crypto for the rest of us.'"

‍

Only six months after founding the company, Lockwood and Rose have achieved numerous milestones. Apart from completing the first iteration of their product, they've also grown their team to seven people, secured a banking partner, and raised their first tranche of pre-seed funding from prominent angel investors including tech pioneer Keith Teare, executive and entrepreneur Craig Forman, and executive and investor Steve Wadsworth. The company is continuing to actively raise capital to grow and further develop its crypto products.

‍

Giftcoin has also secured a partnership with Solid Financial Technologies, Inc., which will provide additional banking and cards infrastructure support as they continue to build innovative new financial products that bring crypto to the masses.

‍

"After a lot of hard work, we're thrilled to be able to bring Giftcoin to everyone," added Lockwood. "We're grateful to our early backers and partners for helping us reach this milestone."

Former practicing DC attorney Natalie Zink has embarked on her next chapter: the launch of an online indie clothing store called Wild Gardenia Boutique. Based in the DC and Northern Virginia area, the boutique features a collection of indie women's clothing and indie accessories that fashion-minded consumers will love. The indie boutique aims to cater to all women and is size inclusive.

‍

The online boutique offers a compelling take on the traditional ecommerce experience. Wild Gardenia's website highlights how women can incorporate unique pieces into their existing wardrobe, offering suggestions on how to curate inspired looks for brunch, dates, vacations, and more.

‍

"I desired to create a boutique that catered to women like me, relatively young urban professionals who like exploring new places and people," says 30-year-old Zink. "I want to introduce women to statement pieces that they can combine with items already in their wardrobes. I like mixing classic timeless pieces and items with a bit of a twist."

‍

A suite of woman-owned, artisanal brands (among others) make up the boutique's current collection. Shoppers will find beloved brands such as Pinch, Pink Harley, and Jessie Zhao on the site. The owner's favorite piece in the collection is the Daisy Buchanan Romper—shoppers simply must check it out.

‍

Zink, who holds a master's degree in Arabic, left her attorney position in the wake of the pandemic. The uncertainty of COVID inspired the founder to pivot in her career and pursue her true passion: building an online indie boutique that could serve as a creative outlet for herself and women across the region. Based in Washington, DC, the founder will soon relocate to Fairfax, Virginia, where she will continue building her first venture.

‍

"I wanted to create something with my own two hands," says Zink. "I have always loved clothing and used it as a way to express myself. During the pandemic, I realized how much I missed getting dressed up to go to the office or meet up with friends. Wild Gardenia aims to provide women with the ability to express themselves comfortably through fashion and dress in a way that celebrates everyday life."

‍

Women can visit Wild Gardenia Boutique to find inspiration in the way they dress. Through her online store, Zink encourages women like her to be bold, take chances, and live the life they envision.

Available in e-book format, it can be accessed via the Tanduay website, global.tanduay.com.

‍

"We came up with the book so that both new and long-time customers can experience and appreciate Tanduay in different ways," said Marc Ngo, Tanduay Distillers, Inc. International Business Development Manager and Senior Brand Manager.

‍

The cocktails' taste and colors reflect the Philippines' beautiful beaches and sunsets.

Buzzkill, a breakthrough non-alcoholic wine brand, announced the launch of their debut offering – an alcohol-removed classic Sauvignon Blanc with notes of lemongrass, passionfruit, and citrus undertones. Crafted by a renowned in-house winemaker, Buzzkill is made with real California grapes that are harvested, crushed, and fermented locally. The wine is then gently heated to remove the alcohol, preserving the vibrant acidity and thirst-quenching properties.

‍

The past two years have seen a surge in the popularity of non-alcoholic beverages. Consumers are demanding new alternatives particularly in the wine segment, and modern technology has made it possible to develop high quality products without sacrificing taste and authenticity.

‍

Beyond the credibility of the liquid, Buzzkill empowers people to embrace alcohol moderation through a bold, unapologetic brand ethos. When developing the company's mission, Founder and CEO Molly Fedick set out to create a brand that defied conventions, appealed to the Genzennial consumer, and encouraged consumers to feel confident in their decision to not drink alcohol.

‍

"We decided to embrace being a total Buzzkill," said Fedick. "Younger consumers are a major influence in the move to moderation, and we saw an opportunity to reflect their attitude of acceptance and rebel against current brand archetypes in a refreshingly real way."

‍

Previously serving as Creative Director of dating app Hinge, Fedick is known for unconventional marketing and a bold approach. To bring the concept to life, Fedick tapped strategic design agency Thirst Craft, whose work for Brooklyn Brewery and Boston Beer Company fueled their recent rise to prominence.

‍

Matt Burns, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Thirst said, "Our goal was to craft an identity and shelf presence that would immediately set the brand apart from its peers in the category. To us, naming the brand "Buzzkill" was a bold move that called for embracing the stereotype, turning its meaning on its head, and leaning into a rebellious and fun persona in the development of the brand. These would become ownable hallmarks to make evident across the entire brand experience."

‍

Drawing from her prior accomplishments as a master meme marketer, having built campaigns for Hinge, Budweiser and Dunkin', Fedick expects social media to play a key role in brand discovery for Buzzkill. "I don't know of a medium that's more organically integrated into customer's lives than meme marketing. It's an incredibly potent touchpoint to build awareness and relatability."

‍

Buzzkill is available for purchase at www.buzzkillwines.com and www.Boisson.nyc.

"To be included in this group of values-aligned companies for driving environmental and social impact is a great honor that we receive with excitement," said Arin Schultz, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing for Naturepedic. Schultz added, "This recognition makes us even more determined to continue the work we have been doing since the very beginning and inspires us to relentlessly keep pursuing higher standards of sustainable practices particularly when it comes to the most vulnerable – babies and children."

‍

As leaders of the sustainable mattress revolution, Naturepedic works hand-in-hand with various organizations, third-parties, and NGOs to garner a 360-degree understanding of the sustainability issues around the mattress industry. With a focus on cutting down on waste and energy use, meeting and exceeding the most stringent, reputable third-party certifications in the marketplace, and participating in environmental advocacy groups, the company is fully committed to eliminating toxic chemicals from sleep products and replacing them with natural and organic materials.

‍

Naturepedic's accomplishments have kept coming. In early 2022, they joined the nonprofit Health Product Declaration® (HPD) Collaborative to empower product manufacturers and AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation) practitioners with easy access to detailed information about product materials used by the public. Also, it continued reinforcing its "ditch the chemicals" campaign during National Cancer Prevention Awareness Month to highlight businesses' direct role in influencing non-hereditary childhood cancer. Additionally, they were the first certified non-food organic product to complete the Organic Fraud Prevention Plan for the Organic Trade Association and have donated over $200,000 to approved nonprofits dedicated to environmental causes through 1% For the Planet. Most recently, Naturepedic's EOS® Classic Organic Mattress received an esteemed award for its customizable design and personalized sleep options from Good Housekeeping 2022 Bedding Awards.

‍

All Naturepedic mattress products for babies, kids, and adults, are GOTS-certified organic and certified non-toxic by MADE SAFE. They are also certified to the GREENGUARD Gold and UL Formaldehyde-Free standards and eliminate questionable materials and chemicals found in most conventional mattresses while meeting and exceeding the highest level of certifications available in the marketplace. All Naturepedic products meet organic and non-toxic standards.
